Quick Summary
This discussion addresses how to pass journal entries for inter-bank transfers between SGD and USD accounts. The user is seeking guidance on the correct accounting treatment when the amounts shown on the respective bank statements differ, likely due to exchange rate fluctuations. Advice provided suggests debiting the USD account and crediting the SGD account, with potential adjustments for foreign exchange gains or losses.

Simple, if the currency spot is below 0 then divide the currency with it or else multiply with it is it is more than 0. This is for converting  upper to lower denominatiin and vice versa. 

If it is purchases

Dr purchases

Dr fx loss/cr fx gain

Cr bank

One Bank with a multi-currency account.

So money was transferred from SGD to USD. Then what will be the entry for both SGD and USD a/c?

Please explain.

 

If its a transfer

Dr Usd bank

Cr. SGD bank

Dr. Fx loss 

This is most probable
